Hey, you are listening to A Year in the Bible with daily Grace. We're walking through the book of Genesis. I'm Shelby and I'm here with Scott. Scott, Today we're in Genesis 25 through 27 and we see the narrative pivot a little bit here. We're going from following Abraham's story, we'll see his death, and then we begin to follow Isaac's story a little more closely. Can you take us through these chapters?
Scott (0:58)
Yeah, this is a transition point in Genesis, like you said. The focus now shifts away from Abraham to Isaac a little bit, that, you know, the son that had been promised to them. Um, you know, Sarah, we didn't talk about this in the episode yesterday, but in chapter 23, which we looked at in the study yesterday, she passed away. And here in Genesis 25, Abraham now passes away. And 23 mentioned this, had this interaction with Abraham purchasing this cave to bury Sarah in, and Abraham is buried in it in this chapter. And I mentioned this cave because we're actually going to see it a few more times in Genesis with people from this family choosing to be buried. But I think the cave is interesting to me because, you know, even though God had promised this land to Abraham's descendants, even though Abraham lived in this land, he was a wanderer. He didn't, he didn't own this land, it wasn't his yet. But he, we do see him take possession of one very small part of it. And so I think what you see in the purchase of this cave is this act of faith on Abraham's part. It's like a down payment. And he purchases it, purchases it in faith that this whole, this will be surrounded by his descendants one day. Like this small plot of land will be, will expand to include all the land. And so he's just trusting that by being buried here, he will dwell among his descendants one day who will inhabit this place.
Shelby (2:28)
Yeah, I remember for a long time I had just kind of like skipped over that fact and didn't understand it. And I think it might have been actually the first time I read through the Bible in a year that I really came to understand that. And it's a really cool moment in this story. But I do have a question. What happens to God's covenant with Abraham when he dies? You know, we've talked a lot about that covenant and the importance of it. And now Abraham has passed away. So what happens?
